Chapter 410
Rose was still having a video call. On the phone screen. Sherri and Natalie were wiping their tears with tissues.
It was obvious that they were touched.
Joseph was the first to leave the top floor with an upset expression and complicated feelings.
Other than Grace who was smiling, William, Daniel, and Emma all had tears in their eyes.
Grace held Emma’s shoulders to comfort her. As they stepped out of the elevator, Grace said straightforwardly, “From today onwards, Ava will be my daughter, and Frank will be your son. At most, you’ll have one more son, and you won’t lose a daughter.”
Emma did not push Grace’s hand away. She smiled and walked forward. “Not bad.”
At night, the Turners stayed in the Sapphire Hotel. William played chess with Daniel. Emma had heard Joseph introduce Grace simply before, so she was interested in how Grace could become the head of the Turner family. She thought that there should be a lot of bitterness and sadness in the process.
At that moment, Emma and Grace were sitting together and sharing their own stories. Grace, who was not chatty, was overwhelmed by Emma’s questions and began to share her experiences with Emma.
On the top floor, after recording the proposal. Rose quietly left. Only Ava and Frank, today’s main characters, were left in the cozy and romantic room and hugging each other affectionately.
Ava cried in Frank’s arms for a long time. She was touched, excited, surprised, and nervous…
When she finally stopped crying and only sobbed softly. Frank’s shirt was already drenched in her tears. He felt it and said in a low voice. “Alright. If you cry any longer, you won’t be able to cry tonight”
Ava did not understand the sentence. She looked up at the tall and straight Frank and asked, “What do you mean?”
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she blinked in confusion. The formation of the drones outside the window was still changing
Frank looked down at Ava meaningfully and curled his lips into a smile. “It’s nothing. Can you
walk?”
Ava nodded, but in the next second, Frank suddenly picked her up. Ava was stunned and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Frank’s neck.
She felt pretty good. She held the flowers in her hand and rested her head on Frank’s shoulder. “Frank, I love you. I love you
very, very much.”
Frank’s breathing suddenly quickened, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice became a little hoarse. “Tell me later.”
Ava didn’t quite understand what Frank said and was confused all the time. However, she was in a good mood, so she didn’t think about it further. Instead, she just wanted to lie in Frank’s arms.
Frank walked quickly to his room. He swiped the room card while holding Ava, and the door opened with a click.
The lights in the room were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn. Nothing could be seen clearly in the darkness. Frank closed the door with his foot and locked it. This way, Ava could not go out at night.
Hearing the sound of the lock, Ava seemed to have understood what was going to happen next. She recalled what Frank had just said and finally understood a little.
Frank put down Ava and turned on a wall lamp. He was so close to her, and his facial features were right in front of her eyes. Ava did not hesitate for a second. She held the flowers in her hand and tiptoed to kiss Frank’s lips.
Without hesitation, Frank took the flowers from Ava’s hand and threw them on the ground. In the next second, he captured her delicate lips. Ava raised her head and accepted the kiss, her hands tugging at Frank’s shirt nervously.
Frank held the back of her head gently and pressed her against him bit by bit. The kiss became more enthusiastic. Ava was dizzy from the kiss, and her heart beat wildly as if something was drumming in it. In the beginning, she could still stand steadily, but in the end, Frank had to hold her waist to stabilize her.
The kiss continued. However, Frank was not satisfied with kissing Ava’s lips only. He was infatuated with other places and almost couldn’t control himself.
His voice was getting hoarser and hoarser. He whispered in Ava’s ear in a deep voice, “Baby Ava, can I?”
Ava understood what he meant and nodded with her flushed face. Hearing that, Frank picked her up and placed her on the bed. The light in the room wasn’t bright. Ava lay on the bed nervously, her hands gripped her dress, and her palms were sweating. Even so, she was willing to be with Frank.
Frank’s eyes were bloodshot. He trapped Ava in his arms and asked for her opinion again, “Are you sure? I won’t stop in the process.
Ava paused for a moment before nodding again. The next second, Frank leaned down and kissed her, slowly and gently
reducing her nervousness.
Time passed bit by bit. Ava suddenly called out, “Frank…”
Seeing her frown, Frank tried his best to restrain his desire and coaxed her gently. “Baby Ava, bear with it for a moment.”
This time, he didn’t stop because he felt pity for Ava. He wanted Ava. He wanted everything about Ava.
Perhaps because Frank hadn’t closed the window completely when he left just now. Through the narrow gap, the night breeze blew in, causing the originally quiet curtains to flutter. The dim light shone on the curtain and seemed to provide a stage for the curtain’s dancing.
Exploring was human nature, and no one would refuse beauty.
The night was exceptionally beautiful.
Rose took the private plane of the Roberts family back alone.
Emma and Grace admired each other a lot. Therefore, the hospitable Turners hoped that Grace and William could stay in Sapphire City for a few more days. Grace was always straightforward, and she agreed to stay directly.
“What a poor guy am I. I can inherit billions of assets and live a comfortable and free life. Why do I have to choose to work hard?”
There were many bodyguards on the plane. Considering that Rose would go back alone, Joseph meticulously arranged for the bodyguards of the Turner family to ensure her safety.
Rose was full of energy at night and was not going to sleep. She was talkative, and she began to chat with the silent. bodyguards. “Thank you for sending me back.”
Rose said to the bodyguards of the Turner family. Pat was among them, and he answered politely on behalf of others, “Miss Roberts, you’re welcome. It is our duty”
Rose felt that Pat was too serious. “Do you usually not smile? Although it’s easy to have wrinkles if you smile too much, I think life will be better if you smile more.”
The other bodyguards under Pat were shocked when they heard Rose’s words. They looked at Rose, a talkative young lady. in disbelief as if she was an alien.
!
Pat replied politely, “There’s nothing funny. I am rarely amused by anything.”
Rose looked regretful. “Oh… That’s a pity. I don’t have a joke that can make you laugh now.”
Later, Pat had been asked questions by Rose and forced to chat with her for a few hours. He felt as if he had said everything in his life and probably did not want to talk in the next few months.
Rose was too eloquent.
When the plane arrived at Athana Airport, it was already at midnight. There were not many stars in the sky, looking pitifully
few.
After getting off the plane, Rose strode out of the airport. Behind her, a group of bodyguards followed. At that moment, Rose looked much like Grace as she walked out with a different aura.
If not for her excited footsteps, she would have been exactly like Grace.
When Rose arrived at the entrance, a man in a thin trench coat and glasses slowly walked over from afar. He stopped in front of her and took the suitcase from her hand. “I’ll help you take it.”
Rose was stunned for a moment. Edward did say that she could send him a message if she came back alone. However, so many bodyguards sent her back to Athana. Besides, it would be late at night when she returned home. A the thought of that, she did not send Edward a message.
More importantly, Rose wasn’t Edward’s girlfriend yet, and she thought that it was embarrassing to ask him to pick her up so late at night.
She fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Why are you here?”
In fact, she wanted to ask Edward how he got to know that she would come back alone.
Edward did not tell the truth. “I guessed.”
Rose thought, “Are you a fortuneteller? How can you guess that?”
Anyway, she didn’t believe it. She didn’t even buy a plane ticket, and how could Edward know that she would be back now and appear in time? Unless….
“You didn’t come here to wait for me all day long, did you?” Rose was stunned when she said that. However, it was the only proper hypothesis that could explain why Edward was here.
“Get in the car, and I’ll send you back. Will you be scared if you stay at home alone?”
Edward did not answer Rose’s question. He was worried that she would be afraid of living alone in a big house.
Rose said to the bodyguards behind her, “I’ll take my friend’s car. You guys can follow behind. Don’t worry,”
